Swimming in Idaho as a Transgender Man

  • Resumen

  • After taking steps to affirm his gender, Torrey Stephenson decided to take a plunge – and became a triathlete in the process.

    Torrey Stephenson was born biologically female.

    Over the years he realized that he identifies as a man, and took measures to align with his gender — for example, getting top surgery in 2020.

    As he grew more comfortable in his body, he wanted to try something new: swimming.

    In this episode of Northwest Reports, host Maleeha Syed speaks with Stephenson about how he took the plunge into the sport; why, even though he’s more comfortable with his body, he still has nerves about being trans in Idaho; and how, in just a few months, he went from learning the ropes to competing in a triathlon.
